Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-06-21
Busy week with hosting events, planning future gatherings, and transitioning to a new subscription fee structure.
Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-06-21
Looking back at the week with an eye to the future.
This week went by in a flash. I hosted an event this morning too.
Regular readers know I normally work out of The Vault in Beaufort, NC USA. While the parking is not free, the view is legit and weather was nice this morning.
In fact, Iβm considering making this event a weekly occurrence. Iβve already created the event for next week.
This week, I also published a full week of βFree Previewβ posts for Hot Fudge Daily on Fudge Sunday.

Again, Iβll likely collapse fudge.org content that is exclusively newsletter content into fudge.org for ONLY newsletters and reclaim fudge.org as a blogging platform. We shall see.
For Hot Fudge Daily, I changed to a $9.99 yearly subscription since Stripe taking 1/3 of $0.99 monthly revenue in the prior fee structure. ππΈπ΅

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Appleβs first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
